You were probably expecting for talk about the merge request but that's not what you're getting here.

I changed the [[Automatic_login_to_virtual_console#With_systemd|#With systemd]] section's service {{ic|Type}} to {{ic|simple}} (the default) to drastically speed up the boot. I went from 12.4 seconds to 7.2 once I figured out what it was.

In case anyone else had trouble with these instructions, I had to modify them slightly to get it to work. This might be because my installation is a few years old and predates systemd, but I do not have anything at /usr/bin/agetty. I just replaced it with /sbin/agetty, and I was good to go.

And no, this is not a hack to simply skip all the other stuff you'd wanna boot with. Even the default display manager services and the (unrecommended) [[Systemd#Using_service_file|xinit method]] were much faster, which is why I started to look for what was wrong with this (_recommended_) one. --[[User:Det|Det]] ([[User talk:Det|talk]]) 21:31, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Basically nothing happens, I'm not logined automatically.

:Using this command should result in the system shutting down if only 1 user is currently logged in, but combined with this method for automatically logging in, it will refuse with {{ic|"Failed to issue method call: Access denied"}}. The {{ic|journalctl}} log files get butchered on my system so all I can see is something about dbus getting rejected. --[[User:Earnest|Earnest]] ([[User talk:Earnest|talk]]) 22:34, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

::Hmh. I have no idea what that means. I just tried starting X as root on another console and launching dolphin with {{ic|dbus-launch}} (of which I have no idea whether it's relevant or not) and I still could shutdown my system from my regular user account.

::But so is the {{ic|1=Type=idle}} method equally fast for you when compared to a display manager or the xinit method? Because if it's not, then why would you want to use that anyway? --[[User:Det|Det]] ([[User talk:Det|talk]]) 10:34, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

:::This whole situation may have something to do with not using {{ic|dbus-launch}}, but there are still some inconsistencies with that theory. I haven't given it much thought or testing as it's not a hindrance for me personally, but may affect others. As my testing has been limited I've not submitted a bug report, but for what it's worth here are some basic steps to reproduce:

−

:::1) Use the {{ic|autologin@.service}}

−

:::2) Launch a basic Xsession with {{ic|$ xinit $WM}}

−

:::3) Open a terminal and run {{ic|$ systemctl poweroff}}. Get ''"Access Denied"''.

−

:::4) Drop to another tty, login as a regular user and run the command again. Works (but not as intended).

:::As for {{ic|1=Type=idle}} vs. {{ic|1=Type=simple}}, I have personally not noticed a difference between the two on spinning media, it may have a notable difference on SSD that I'm unaware of. --[[User:Earnest|Earnest]] ([[User talk:Earnest|talk]]) 08:13, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

I have agetty in a different place

In case anyone else had trouble with these instructions, I had to modify them slightly to get it to work. This might be because my installation is a few years old and predates systemd, but I do not have anything at /usr/bin/agetty. I just replaced it with /sbin/agetty, and I was good to go.
